leader Martin Rooney said:"We are ruling out this option early to reduce the considerable concerns faced by parents and carers.He said councillors were facing impossible decisions over cuts to help close the budget gap.
"These decisions are never easy and rest assured we do not take them lightly.

"It is with a heavy heart that we take decisions which could result in cuts to services and staffing - these are also our friends, our neighbours, our families and our services."
